Workplace Accidents

We represent victims injured in workplace accidents, including workplace injuries caused by defective products and third party negligence.

Defective Products

People are harmed or killed everyday because of defective products. A product is seen as defective if it is unreasonably dangerous, does not carry sufficient warnings or the manufacturer fails to provide complete and adequate instructions for use of the product. If defective, machinery, toys, sports equipment and other products can cause serious harm or even death.

Settlement: $7 million dollars in a product liability action brought against the manufacturer of a product which malfunctioned and caused a fire, thereby injuring an entire family.

Settlement: $875,000 in a products liability action brought on behalf of a small child who sustained a partial amputation of his a finger when a vending machine caused an electrocution shock.

Alcohol Related Injuries

In most states, restaurants and bars are responsible for how much alcohol they serve to their patrons. These types of establishments can be held liable for any damages and personal injuries a patron causes due to intoxication. These laws are based on the principle that anyone who profits from the sale of alcoholic beverages should be held liable for any resulting damages.

Successful Verdicts/Settlements

A jury verdict in the amount of $2.8 million dollars in a dram shop case against a local bar.

Settlement: $2 million dollars in a wrongful death dram shop case against a local retailer who sold alcohol to a minor who was subsequently fatally injured in a motor vehicle accident.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a responsibility to keep their property safe and warn visitors of any potential hazards. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for any injuries that result. This includes workplace and construction site injuries, amusement park accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, and accidental drowning. Injuries can range from a broken bone to a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or even wrongful death.

If you sustained an injury on another person’s property, keep records of the scene of the accident and of your injury. It is best to hire an attorney right away to help with collecting evidence and filing charges.
